Methodology
a) Research design The research will employ a survey kind of research design where data will be collected from the employees. This kind of research design will best suited to collect the data since it will give the researcher a chance to collect primary data from the organisation. In his regard the researcher will be able to interact with the staff in the organisation which will make it possible to understand the dynamic factors of the research by having a first hand experience. One advantage with the survey kind of research design is that the researchers will have a chance of experiencing the culture of the organisation in practice rather that getting it from the secondary sources. b) Sampling and sample size The sample frame that will be used for the research will be the members of the staff of Penine foods. In the regard the research will collect data from both the worker and the managers of Penine Foods and not from external staffs. This is because the research is supposed to evaluate the effects of culture in those particular organisations. This will help to make the data collected more reliable and accurate. In...

...the larger population from which the sample was drawn. You should not apply your results to those subjects only who participated in the study. Applying findings from a sample to a larger population is known as generalization.
As the results of an experiment are to generalize the population, so we must be very careful while selecting the sample. The optimal procedure is to identify the population and then draw a random sample of individuals for participation in the experiment. In random sampling, every person in the population must be eligible for population. They also should get an equal chance for being chosen.
Random sampling is constructed by placing the name of every potential participant and then drawing out a specified number of names at one time. But in practice, this is not. Usually college students are used as they are easily available. The adverse effect of this is, it hampers the external validity or generality of experiment and the chances are that the opinion of non-college population may differ in numbers of ways of college students. Therefore, one should not limit themselves to college students only.
Techniques of obtaining representative sampling is:
a. Simple random sampling: Select a random number of individual from population. For eg; a golf ball. To combat problems here, select a large sample as it is more likely to represent all segments.
b. Stratified sampling: It provides...

...formulating theories) through data collection. Sample Data Sample data basically is a subclass of populations such as humans, animals and even objects; it often goes as far as Physical Science and the Scientific Method. Within statistics, known as survey methodology, Sample Data concerns itself in the selective method regarding the subset of inhabitants or humans from within any particular population. This is done in order to approximate the uniqueness of an entire populace like weight, gender, color, religion, job types, etc. Sample Data surveying is also extremely cost effective opposed to surveying an entire
population. In short, this form of Sample Data is, from my own opinion, nothing more than probability theories. Population Data On the other hand, Population Data is just that; a means or census aimed at providing Data specifically based on the demographics, collective distinctiveness of a populace, individualism, and the primary starting point regarding population estimations for Federal and State
Governments. This form of data supports federal and municipal legislations throughout our government and agencies. Examples amongst such usage of this particular “census data” would include educational institutes, academic researches, languages and overall population approximations and prognostications. How is a sample related to the population? A part (part being the key word here)...

METHODOLOGY
A quantitative approach will be utilized to meet the objective highlighted in the proposal. A detailed questionnaire will be developed with company feedback and the participants in the survey will be approached via multiple methods.
50% of the survey will be online, presented to people visiting the company websites, and few other commonly accessed tourism sites.
30% of the sample population will be approached via telephone. The names will be obtained from sites offering information on frequent travelers.
20% of the questionnaires will be more focused towards businessmen and youth, We might target 10% of the questionnaires to specific business clients that deal with Huella Hong Kong regularly and the other 10% to young travelers . Young travelers could be recently married couples or graduating students taking a break after completing education.

Abstract
This essay will have two parts one will discuss three different surveys and the second will be a survey that was performed by the author. The subjects of the surveys will be Entertainment, Political, and General. We will analyze the surveys that do not have the population that were surveyed.
Introduction
The entertainment survey will be a survey that was conducted by Universal UK, was conducted in the Britain, and is about the movies they have vivid memories pictures of in their mind. (Macnab, 2013) The Political survey was conducted by Gallup Wellbeing, is about older United States employees. (Ander, 2013) Number 3, the survey is from Gallup Wellbeing also and is about how female veterans rate their life. (Meyers &amp; Liu, 2013)
Entertainment Survey
Universal UK conducted this survey in order to decide which movies would sell the most if put on DVD’s. To describe the number of participants Macnab said, “The participants were people across Britain”, but no number is mentioned. (Macnab, 2013) Without the number of people surveyed, we cannot calculate if the participants were the correct amount. It was thought that the memory of the movies was considered as, “escapism”, but through the survey results, it was discovered that it was the reverse. As it showed the participants did not use the movies to escape life’s problems, but they were used to...

to point B. Point A lies on an abandoned road that runs on the west of point P. Point B is 3km north from the abandoned road and is 5km east
of A as shown in FIGURE 01(b). The engineering division proposes that the road to be constructed by restoring a section of the old road
from point A to some point P and constructing a new road from point P to point B. Given the cost of restoring the old road is RM 2,000,000 per km and the cost of a new road is RM 4,000,000 per km. What is the
length of the old road to be restored to minimize the cost of the project?
